in the disco enviroment - players are mainly responsible for what they do. - if they wish for more roleplay and less dumb pvp only, they must start with themselves - same with PoBs.
the problem in that case is that PoBs make it easier for the players who are disruptive and trollish to get their way - but it is up to the community to regulate it. - disco is not kindergarden - problems are expected to be recognized by the players themselves ... and also solved by them.

Attempting to weed through that wall of text, this is all that stood out. All it says to me is that you don't understand the dynamic of Discovery any more (and honestly I wonder if you ever did). Meaningful roleplay on this server is sparse. The vast majority is simply looking for an excuse and a fast route to blowing up someone else's ship and harvesting their seal tears. Not to mention that we have an entire staff of people that are meant to regulate broad aspects of the community yet they willingly ignore it when people obviously do things for the sake of making other people's lives difficult, as long as it's veiled in a shaky 'RP' frame. Chances are, said 'RP' was also discussed before hand and whatever outcome was made would've been one agreed upon preceding the ingame encounter(s)/forumlancer.
